LOS ANGELES, March 9—
Southern California's football team could be placed on probation and put out of the bowl picture next year, The Los Angeles Times reported today.

The National Collegiate Athletic Association has been investigating reports that some of the school's football players sold their tickets at inflated prices. The Times quoted a university source as saying that the N.C.A.A. investigation had verified reports that Marv Goux, an assistant coach, had acted as ticket broker for the players.

U.S.C. officials went before the N.C.A.A. infractions committee to defend the football program Feb. 19 in Dallas. Athletes may accept tickets from their school for their personal use, but it is an N.C.A.A. violation to sell the tickets for more than their face value.
